History Sandbox / AppearanceTropesCleanup

* FunnyAfro: Description rewrite and clean up

* AbsoluteCleavage: Frequently misused in wicks to describe any woman with noticeable cleavage, while the actual trope is about a dress that exposes a woman's cleavage and part of her abdomen (like in the page image).

* BikerBabe

* NiceHat: The definition isn't clear and the examples don't follow a consistent pattern. It is also plagued with [=ZCEs=] and may be supplanted by SignatureHeadgear.

* BlindingBangs: Has a huge ZCE problem despite the description listing different personality types associated with the hairstyle.

* BandageBabe: Seems to just be a list of characters dressed in bandages

* SkirtOverTights:Meaningless appearance trope.
* TightsUnderShorts: Meaningless appearance trope.

* PrettyBoy: Suffers the same ZCE and proper example write up issues that {{Hunk}} does. May not be distinct enough from {{Bishonen}}.

* {{Bishonen}}: Suffers the same ZCE and proper example write up issues that {{Hunk}} does. May not be distinct enough from PrettyBoy.

* {{Meganekko}}: Trope boils down to "cute girl with glasses" but it's mostly used to include every girl with glasses. Many discussions have been had in the past about the trope's trope worthiness and what to do about the high number of Administrivia/{{Zero Context Example}}s but none of those threads have gone anywhere.

* AdjustingYourGlasses: Soft split into types, plus a problematic "Other ways" folder. Some concepts may be tropeworthy enough to split off into their own tropes (as opposed to soft splitting), but the "Other ways" folder lacks consistency, and some examples in that folder don't discuss the characters' personalities, despite that being required by the definition.\\
Compare why DrinkBasedCharacterization was renamed from Drink Order[[note]]misuse focused on what a character drinks without saying what it says about them as a character[[/note]]; AdjustingYourGlasses is primarily about what a character ''does'' and what it says about their personality, rather than being fully appearance-based, yet multiple examples don't go that far in terms of context, assuming they fit the trope at all (i.e., whether the adjustments have to do with personality).

* WhoWearsShortShorts: There's not much to the trope besides characters wearing short shorts.

* SkunkStripe: There seem to be several possible meanings, including supernatural powers and insanity.

* HornedHairdo: All the examples are [=ZCEs=] that at best describe the hairstyle but not how the character is evil or malicious.
* MotherlySidePlait: ZCE issues and there are concerns about how tropable "mother/motherly figure has a braid to the side that signifies her nurturing nature" really is.

* SexySpectacles is, in practice, largely the same as Meganekko, i.e. "every girl with glasses that some troper finds hot".

* FunnyAfro: Description was revised to focus on afros played for comedy, and the wicks were cleaned acccordingly.

* ShortHairWithATail: There's not much to this trope besides the hairstyle.

* FingerlessGloves: Despite the description listing various meanings behind wearing these types of gloves, it's mostly filled with Administrivia/{{Zero Context Example}}s, which may point to a deeper issue with the trope. A collaborative wick check was done at Sandbox.FingerlessGlovesWickCheck.

* NiceHat: The trope's def
* MulticoloredHair: There doesn't seem to be much about the trope besides characters having more than one hair color.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Currently in TRS for issues with "X has Y color" zero-context entries.

* DressOverSlacks

inition isn't clear and the examples don't follow a consistent pattern. It is also plagued with [=ZCEs=] and may be supplanted by SignatureHeadgear.

* BeautyMark: Just a list of people with facial moles.

* MulticoloredHair: There doesn't seem to be much about the trope besides characters having more than one hair color.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Was intended for unnatural hair colors that make it easier to tell apart. According to a [[Sandbox/YouGottaHaveWickCheck wick check]], it attracted a lot of "X has Y color" zero-context entries instead.

* BaldWomen: About women being bald as an symbol of power or masculinity, but most examples miss the symbolism. Discussed [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13350380440A15238800&page=359#comment-8963 here.]] Wick check can be found at Sandbox.BaldWomenWickCheck
